Her despicable comment may well throw fence sitters to Obama's side..

[symbolman]

I don't see how any but the most rabid HRC supporter could condone this remark, given that it invokes Violence to the extreme, and most progressives would agree that WORDS have Power.

Any thinking person would be Repulsed by this, and with any luck will now throw in their lot with, and now vote for, Obama..

His reply was classy and to the point.

My god, for her to say this while Ted tries to deal with a brain tumor, the comment was tasteless on So many levels..

So, will Obama get a bump from this, by those who find HRC too Radical in her statements and mode of campaign?

[Birthmark]

1. OTOH...

...the bizarre, unfounded hysteria of the Obama crowd may throw them to Clinton. By and large, people don't like hysteria.

[anonymous171]

2. If they don't like hysteria they won't like Hillary.

SHAME ON YOU BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!!!

[symbolman]

3. Shame on Barack?

I don't understand..

[Occam Bandage]

7. Her insane press conference, where she held up months-old mailings and shouted that.

[symbolman]

10. Was that today?

Been TV-less all morning, have a three year old with big lungs :)

While she "apologised"?

[Occam Bandage]

12. Nah, months ago.

[Whalestoe]

14. It was a joke.

Hillary always says, "Shame on you, BO"

[Birthmark]

21. Ah, the rubber/glue defense.

Nicely played.

[symbolman]

4. Off to IgnoreLand you go..

my third since the Primary.. Same goes for anyone that condones this vile remark..

[Birthmark]

19. Predictable.

But you can't put reality on ignore for very long, my friend.

[Occam Bandage]

5. AND THE HEAVENS WILL OPEN...

[slinkerwink]

6. It's not even the RIGHT HISTORICAL REFERENCE to continue a campaign!

[symbolman]

8. I SO Appreciate You, and all your postings! Just wanted to tell you that..

Exactly! FAIL on some many counts.. Wrong month, and putting the Assassination Brain Worm out there, violence against blacks, she acts like that was no big deal?

I grew UP picking up newspapers with assassination headlines on them with a Chill each time..

[H2O Man]

9. Definitely.

That was a terrible, terrible thing to say. It is the type of thing every decent person finds repulsive.

[symbolman]

13. I don't think she can put this toothpaste back in the tube..

Maybe something positive will come of it, like an Obama landslide of Super Delegates..

Appreciate YOUR positive thread as well H2OMan!

[H2O Man]

15. It was more hateful

than anything Rev. Wright has ever said.

[Ichingcarpenter]

11. I think she just committed political suicide with that statement

The news and the internet blogs are not being kind to her atrocious remark
I'm looking at a wide range on the political spectrum and even many supporters
find it indefensible.

Her hasty apology also indicated that she knew she fucked up and fucked up badly.

I expect more supers coming on board immediately after this remark.




Here is Hillary's Boat........... and this is will be the avalanche of delegates going to Obama

[H2O Man]

16. I agree.

That type of statement should end her candidacy by Monday, if she has any sense of decency. If not, the party must end it by Tuesday.

[symbolman]

18. Dont think she's going to have such a great weekend..

After this people may be more likely to throw rotten fruit, at least metaphorically, as her numbers take a nosedive..

YOU, I Appreciate unendingly :)

[MBernard]

17. YEAH...... EOM

[David Zephyr]

20. Any Super Delegate worth a spit will be endorsing Obama now.

Bill and Hillary are finished.

Hillary will not be elected again in New York.

[symbolman]

22. maddow says it shows amazing lack of discipline

I think it was a Freudian Slip of monumental proportions..

You are one of the greats here too :)

[David Zephyr]

23. Freudian is the word I was looking for. You supplied it.

It's almost too dark to consider what should be considered: she and Bill have discussed such a dark scenario. And her words were revealing...freudian. You fingered it perfectly.

[nashville_brook]

24. i think you're correct -- the gaffe undermines her "consummate, polished, professional" politician

image which is her campaign message to superdelegates. an experienced person you can trust would not make such a mistake.
